Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed April 14, 1908. Serial No. 427,020.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, BENJAMIN CAMPBELL RAsH, a citizen of the UnitedStates, residing at Henderson, in the county of Henderson and State ofKentucky, have invented a new and useful Safety-Razor, of which thefollowing is a specification.

. This invention relates to safety razors.

The object of the invention is to provide an improved form of safetyrazor.

The invention consists of certain novel arrangements of parts andcombinations of details hereinafter fully described, illustrated in theaccompanying drawing and particularly set forth in the claims.

In the accompanying drawing like char actors of reference describe like.parts throughout the several views, and Figure 1 is a side elevation ofa razor ready for use. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section through therazor when arranged ready for the pocket. Fig. 3 is a transverse sectionthrough the blade and guard of Fig. 1, and Fig. 4 is an exterior view ofFig. 2.

In the embodiment of the device herein illustrated the handle comprisesa main ortion 10 whereon is fixedly mounted a b ock 11. The block 11 istrally disposed opening 12 wherein is swiveled the stem 12' of a uard orcomb 13. The guard 13 is provide with a substantially centrally disposedopenin 14. At the outer end of the guard 13'is ormed a lug 15 which isprovided with an annular shoulder 16, as indicated by the dotted linesin Fig. 1. Fixedly mounted on the block 11 is a bar 17 which ispreferably made of some resilient material such as spring steel orbrass. Upon the bar 17 is mounted a pin 18 arranged to register with theopening 14 of the guard 13.

At 19 is'shown a blade of proper form for use with this device. Theblade 19 is provided with an opening 20 disposed to register with theopening 14 in the uard 13 and thus receive the pin 1.8. The lade 19 isfurther provided with a U-shaped recess at the end thereof as indicatedat 21.

- This recess is arranged to fit the shoulders permit the provided witha new 17 will be at right angles to each other. The bar 17 will restfirmly on the blade and hold it securely in position. The resilient baror sprin 17 also serves as a meansfor holding t e width of the nerd andblade at a ri ht an 1e to the wi th of the handle, as wil be c ear onreference to Fig. 1. When it is desired to remove the Patented Mar. 29,191 0.

blade 19 from the guard it is merely necessary to rotate'the guard withthe fingers to the position indicated in Fi 2. This will cause the pin18 to be with rawn from the opening-"'14 andfree the blade 19, which maythen be removed by drawing toward the handle and thence out.

In order to rovide a handle for the device which wil give the necessarylen h, and have the device capable of being de case 22 arranged to liewithin the body part of the handle as at 10 and provided with anexteriorly extending portion as clearly shown in Fi 2. A cover for theguard is also provide as shown at 23 and this cover is so arranged thatit may be fitted over the exterior portion of the blade case thusassumin the position indicated in Fi 1.
